A product called "Alter Ego"

JetBlack · #1 03-29-2004, 10:14 PM

Ladies: I may be spelling this wrong but if anyone knows the correct spelling or where I can get this product, please let me know. I went to a haircare specialist last weekend and she used this product in my hair. My hair has completely stopped shedding and feels so soft

. I believe she said it was from either the Dominican Republic or Spain. Does anyone have any info on this product? JetBlack

It is the correct spelling, this is hot in New York but not big on the board at all. Do you know which one she used. I actually think it is from Italy (I may be confusing it with another line). Do you know which one she used? They have a garlic conditioner, carrot (for colored hair), coconut (for dry hair) and an avacado conditioner. They are expensive even by my standards and I a salon product junkie.

I believe she said it was from either the Dominican Republic or Spain. This product made my hair feel like "silk".

It's actually from Italy.

So can you only order these products from shops in NY??

JB: Which product(s) did she use?

I live in New York and I get this product from my Dominican Hair salon. It's 15 bucks a bottle but it's great. I have been having a big issue with shedding and this stuff has helped dramatically. The one I use says Cren in yellow letters on the box. They apply to your with the eyedropper applicator.

Hey Evanne (my hair buddy!)
What Salon is it that they charge 15? Cuz my stylist charged me 25

and I have been quite stingy with it (to my mother) for that price

Evanne- Are you talking about the one in the brown bottle, I think I've seen that one.It is put on your scalp right?

omg

this is the product my dominican stylist used on my hair before she rollerset it and my hair came our beautiful. I went to the same salon and got a wash but she wasn't there. I let someone else do my hair and it was horrible. I almost cried. the following week I cheched out another dominican salon. she was o.k. but nothing special. I have since vowed to only go to my original dominican stylist from now on. maybe there is a secret to this product cause she is the only one who used it on my hair.

I have been looking all over NYC for the Alter Ego conditioner. When I finally found it at my regular BSS, I honestly started geeking inside the store

But when I picked it up and saw that it was $50 I was so heartbroken!!! What makes it worse is I'm a PJ, and I need a fix!!!

This was used on my hair the few times that I went to Luisa's. I had no idea it was such a big rave. Anyways, I didn't buy it.

This is the product I'm referring to:

Lotion restructures

This lotion restructures tha hair and revitalises the scalp, working to prevent hair falling out. This lotion is an optium natural energetic restorative, that feeds both the hair and the scalp, giving back mineral salts, protein and vitamins, thanks to the innovative use of seaweed extract and soy seeds.

yes this product (lotion) is wonderful.....I used it for close to 2 years and it really worked on my edges ( that's where I and my stylist noticed it)...I used the green one first then I bought the red bottle ( Cren is the green one)..... they are expensive though but I feel it's worth it....at least just to get your hair in shape.....

sengschick · #18 04-01-2004, 04:17 PM

Thanks Allandra! I'm adding it to the list.

Allandra · #19 04-01-2004, 04:59 PM

You're welcome.

I have "seen" it in the case of the salon I go to for wash and sets but I have never seen them use them. I have seen them at a beauty supply store, I dont know how much it cost. Where is everyone else finding them? God bless you all.
